Cell phone photography is not something new in developed countries, but it is catching on in developing countries. As the access to the internet becomes more accessible and the number of smart phones increases, young people are bypassing cameras and photo processing on computers using smart phone as a portal to social media to share their daily lives .

We are living in an exciting time in which the internet content is no longer flowing only from the West to the South but vise versa. Through different platforms such as instagram,tumblr,flickr,and pinterest, self proclaimed curators are working tirelessly to showcase artists from all ways of life, something that would not have been possible a couple of years ago.

There are tremendous benefits from this renaissance:

Fight stereotypes that were created through colonial narratives on developing countries

Building confidence in creative youngsters with a wealth of talents the world need to see.

Increases diversity in the world of Art that has be dominated by western artists for decades

All the photographs were taken, processed and published through my phone.
